My Literary Views


To date i have written three books, and one volume of poetry,

Book 1. is entitled .
The Story in the Songs,
This book is a historical look at Ireland through the story of each song,
which was the only medium that country folk had at their disposal.
to pass on the way things were,
News, memories,and the deeds and the misdeeds,
Of those in charge of society as a whole.
The book also contains the lyrics of 90 songs collected over a period,
which other wise would have been lost,
Most of these songs are now forgotten and unheard of.
They date from 1647 to the early 1800's





Book 2. is entitled .
The Gig Report,
This is a book about being on the road as a musician,
the story will take you through many different situations,
into the homes of many different peoples, and of differing cultures,
The story traces as the title implies, a list of music house venues,
and the people who run them and the patrons who frequent them,
as seen through the eyes of a musician.




Book 3. is entitled .
A Hamletian Chamber,
Torture a strong word, a short life as a child,
Torture is a description, befits some of the way we lived,
The way we treated our most vunerable future people,
Not all of this book is as sad as the title would have one believe,
Lots of light hearted moments,
A parochial insight from the mid 50's to the early 60's
Fair Days, Weddings, Trashings, A Hard Worker, Inheiritance, Whisky how are you,.Bands,
A time capsule soap opera.




Book 4. is entitled .
Poetical Assesments,
A volume of 50 poems, senceical, nonsencical, sparky, daft, judgmental, deriding,
unending, stenorian, harum-scarum,
zeitgeist, gusto, lexical
